I'd say any drug use on a regular basis is an issue whether physically dependent or not. What some people don't mention is what I would call "mental dependency" when you depend on a substance for stability and that is my current problem. When im sober I have anxiety and dysphoria through the roof and i can't cope with every day tasks whatsoever. Sobriety makes me an absolute freak show to be around. I become hostile and a huge *****. I actually blame my stimulant abuse seeing as it causes chemical changes in the brain, severe depression and anhedonia. I've gave up refilling my script just about 3 weeks ago and mentally I'm suffering. And I'll admit, since quitting stimulants I've been using other things more heavily. It's all part of cycle that is self medicating and addiction.
